Attorney

Insurance Defense Attorney (Junior) | Philadelphia, PA | 2 to 5 yrs | $105,000 to $150,000 | General Liability Defense

Your own caseload early, with partners who teach you properly along the way. For a junior insurance defense attorney in Philadelphia, that mix of ownership and mentoring is the quickest route to becoming a confident trial lawyer.

General liability defense is where many of the best trial lawyers learn their craft. This firm defends carriers and their insureds in casualty claims, and it develops attorneys by giving them real files with real support.

The work

• Defense of premises, auto and general liability claims
• Building and managing your own caseload
• Depositions of plaintiffs, witnesses and experts
• Motions, arbitrations and mediations in Philadelphia and surrounding counties
• Regular reporting to carriers and claims professionals

What I’m looking for

• Admission to the Pennsylvania Bar
• 2 to 5 years of insurance defense or civil litigation experience
• A drive to take ownership and get into the courtroom

How the mentoring works

Partners talk through strategy on your files, prepare you before key depositions and bring you onto their trials. As your judgment develops, the cases get bigger and the oversight gets lighter.

How the role scales

Attorneys at the earlier end learn fast on manageable files. Those with a few years behind them handle higher exposure cases and move toward first chair. The salary range reflects that progression.

Why Philadelphia is a great place to learn

Philadelphia’s compulsory arbitration program means many cases reach a hearing. Junior attorneys get regular chances to present evidence and argue, far sooner than in most markets.

Pace and flexibility

The office runs hybrid, and the firm is flexible about how you organize your week.

Why move

Real case ownership, hands on mentoring and early time in front of decision makers.
